Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eggs are a nutrient-dense addition to any salad. For only 77 calories, one large egg provides 6 grams of protein and more than 15 vitamins and minerals.

Because of their high protein content, they might make you feel more satiated. In a study of 30 overweight or obese women, it was shown that those who ate eggs for breakfast consumed significantly fewer calories over the next 36 hours than those who ate bagels. Place the eggs in a pot and cover with an inch (2.5 cm) of water to make hard-boiled eggs. Bring the eggs to a boil for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the heat and place them in a bowl of cold water for five minutes before peeling.
